Conduction of PSPC Lab IA-1 + Guidelines

Please go through the following points regarding conduction of PSPC lab IA-1 and guidelines to be followed during lab IA-1:

• PSPC Lab IA-1 will be conducted in REGULAR labs slots during the week 19/03/2018 to 24/03/2018.
• F2 batch shall have lab IA-1 on 20/03/2018 (Tuesday) from 2:30 - 5:00 P.M.
• F1 batch shall have lab IA-1 on 21/03/2018 (Wednesday) from 8:00 - 10:30 A.M.
• Lab IA-1 will be an open book test, i.e., students can bring the text book ("Programming in ANSI C" by E. Balagurusamy) to the lab and can refer it during the lab IA-1.
• Only one problem definition shall be given the students during the lab IA-1 & all the students of that batch should work on the same problem definition.
• Lab IA-1 tests the deep understanding of C features, syntax and semantics. It also tests the problem solving ability of each student.
• Students are not allowed to carry Mobile Phones, Calculators and Observation Book to the lab during lab IA-1. If any student is found possessing these items during lab IA-1, then such student shall be detained from writing lab IA-1, and will get zero marks for the same.
• Usage of internet during lab IA-1 is strictly prohibited.
• Lab IA-1 will be evaluated to 30 points. Distribution of 30 points is as follows:
• Write-up: 10 points (spend MAX. 1 hour for write-up)
• Execution + problem solving ability: 20 points [utilize rest of the time for program typing, correcting the errors and proper execution]
• Points will be later mapped appropriately to 'some' CAM marks.
• Each student will be given with only one answer sheet (4 pages). Additional answer sheets shall not be provided to the students.
• Write the C program in the answer sheet and show the write-up to the faculty member and take the signature on the answer sheet. (This activity should get over by first 1 hour).
• ONLY after taking consent from the faculty member (in the form of signature), the student will be allowed to use test login and start typing the program.
• Each student will be provided with individual test logins during lab IA-1. 
• Trying to use regular logins during lab IA-1 will be treated as MALPRACTICE CASE.
• Hence avoid using regular logins during lab IA-1.
• Syllabus for PSPC Lab-1: Starting from basics features of C language (expressions, C tokens, operators, if..else and its variants, switch statement, loops in C- for, while & do..while) till nesting of loops.

Let me know if you have any doubts regarding the above mentioned points/ guidelines.

All the best for PSPC Lab IA-1!!!!
